We're giving away 100 games a day to our users to celebrate our 5th birthday!

For the last 5 years we've been doing our best to bring the best games in history to your home computers. Now, we're celebrating our birthday, and we want you--our users--to have a blast! That's why for the next five days we'll be giving away 100 games a day via our different channels (the forums, social media, YouTube). The details of each giveaway will be revealed on day to day basis, so make sure to drop by daily and see what are we up to.

So, we heard you like puzzles and trivia? Let's have some more of that, shall we? Today, our giveaway is once again forum-based, but requires some gaming knowledge and puzzle-solving skill. We present, the GOG.com B-Day crossword puzzle!

GOG.com 5th B-Day Crossword Puzzle

As you may have noticed, this isn't your regular crossword puzzle. You'll need not only guess what the correct words are, but also where do they go in the diagram. If you manage to get enough of them right, you'll be able to figure out the secret password. Send an email with the said password with the subject line CROSSWORD to contest@gog.com. Out of all the people who do this, we'll pick 100 users who will be sent a $9.99 gift-code.You have time until tomorrow, that's Friday, October 4, at 2:59PM GMT to send us your answer and enter the giveaway, as at that time we'll be moving to another communications channel with a new set of rules.

EDIT:
Have you participated in one of our 5th birthday contests, but are still waiting for its conclusion? We're a bit overwhelmed by the number of entries, as this is the ongoing biggest series of giveaways in the whole of GOG.com history. Please be patient, well sort it all out, eventually, and everyone who was lucky enough to win something will be notified. Sorry for the delay!

I have a few of the answers but it is way to hard having to work out where they go, just can't get my head round it.

Sent! Not that hard.

Single word titles only?

Few real clever ones, though one wrong name that lingered a bit too long probably cost me a placement in the top 20. Still, I had fun, that is what matters.

No need to be top20 this time. ;)

Forget I give up, can't work out:

the cat was horny
of guts and gasoline
selected!
mob builds, mob breaks
mutually assured destruction

Good luck to everyone else

So would the difference between the image (top 20 $10 game, 20 more $6, like last week) and the post (100 $10) mean this was meant to be posted last week (there was a crossword actually announced back then, if I remember right) but was moved to this week and you didn't change the image? :p

(Sent some 15 min ago. Wonder if the password is a clue for something...)

What happened to the top 20 that was in the crossword originally?
Damnit, just my luck when I finally manage to finish the puzzle in a reasonable timeframe...

Edit: Hope you didn't change the puzzle as well...

Still haven't got a clue what game "the cat was horny" refers to, but that's okay. I figured out all the rest and there's only one letter that can go in that spot.

Definitely needed a bit of guesswork as well as looking at the alphabetized GOG catalog to help me find some correct titles/slots.
Posted October 03, 2013
Sent. I hope only the password was required, as there were two titles I couldn't figure out (the cat was horny & selected). I got enough letters to figure out the password out though even without knowing those last two titles.

Strangest crossword I seen since it doesn't tell me which hint is for which numbered word.
Posted October 03, 2013
Sent! I didn't find one title but the letter I had to take was clear.

Ok, maybe too late to win, but - solved and sent!

This was another nice one, GOG!

Edit: Ooops....just read: Random draw...ok then I'm in time ;)

Edit 2: Thanks for the clarification, everyone beneath me - I just figured it out. ;o)

They will pick 100 winners from all answers so you certainly are not late. ;-)

You have until tomorrow to enter so you're probably okay.
